We Keep Finding Stuff!

Posted by Sharon McKellar on Monday, May 5th, 2014

More found objects - some art, some notes, and an amazing rejection letter.

Here are some more items found in library books (or in the library)! We've got some good ones today!

But first- I've gone a bit "Found Item" crazy lately and have made some buttons and magnets created out of the items we've found and posted here! So, look for me when the library is out and about (Nerd Nites, for example). I'll bring these along and you can have one for your very own with a teeny small donation to our amazing wonderful supportive Friends of the Oakland Public Library.

For now, let's check out some items...

Friends?

Dear Nathan. This is probably my favorite find ever. Sorry, Nathan.

Who are you looking at?

I would actually love to find the creator of this lovely piece of original art. I feel like (s)he probably did not mean to leave it behind.

I find a lot of these finds to be very personal in nature. If I were to come across my personal artifacts on a public website, I would be very upset. I am not sure if this an appropriate forum for such personal information.
